Chapter 97


    “Cheating?” Pearl muttered to herself, struggling to reconcile the idea of Mobius, who had appeared so


    remorseful earlier, being involved in cheating.


    “Where is he now then?” she asked.


    Hanzel wore a deeply troubled expression as he exined, “He’s still at school. The teacher called me


    , but I have an opening ceremony to attend and can’t skip it.”


    Then, an idea seemed to dawn on him. He hesitated for a moment before suggesting, “Why don’t… yo


    u go see him and find out what happened?”


    “Me?” Pearl wasn’t expecting him to ask her to do that.


    Hanzel nodded. “Yes, I heard him say you helped him study. Maybe you can get to the bottom of this.”


    His phone rang suddenly, and he checked the caller ID before hurriedly walking away. “Thanks, Pearl. I


    ’ll join you there once I’m done.”


    Although Pearl didn’t know what to do, thinking of the trouble Mobius could be in, she decided


    to go take a look.


    She arrived at the school and, outside the principal’s office, overheard Mobius’s angry voice.

    The counselor


    spoke up, “Mobius, even if you’re a Waldorf, you’re still a student. Your family can’t protect you from the


    consequences of your actions.”


    Pearl could no longer stay silent and decided to enter the room.


    “Hello, Sir. I heard that Mobius was caught cheating so I came to find out what’s going on.”


    Pearl smiled sweetly, leaving the three people in the room stunned.


    Mobius, in particr, was bewildered. “Why are you here, Pea?”


    The principal and counselor knew Pearl Leighton because she was a public figure. The principal’s tone


    softened.


    “Did youe


    here for Mobius? He’s always been stubborn so I think you should ask him to find out more.”


    Pearl, her expression now ice–cold, questioned them, “Are you sure he was the one cheating?”


    “Of course. We discovered this note on his desk, and the handwriting matched his. Most importantly, his


    Pearl sensed something was wrong. “His friend reported him? Can I speak to him?”


    The counselor asked someone to send for David.


    David appeared at the door, looking slightly overwhelmed by the number of people in the room. “What’s Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Don’t worry, David. Tell thisdy everything about Mobius cheating.” The counselor looked at David affe


    David gulped. “I had a


    feeling that Mobius was acting weird today so I paid more attention to him. To my surprise, I saw him wit
